Nonstop flight route between Guatemala City, Guatemala and Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between La Aurora International Airport (GUA), Guatemala City, Guatemala and El Tari Airport (KOE), Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,111 miles (or 16,272 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between La Aurora International Airport and El Tari Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between La Aurora International Airport and El Tari Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Combined with a high temperature, this could make GUA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In addition to being known as "La Aurora International Airport", another name for GUA is "Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora".
• The furthest airport from La Aurora International Airport (GUA) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is located 11,915 miles (19,176 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
